Spec
Draft Spec: https://wicg.github.io/contact-api/spec/
Tag Review for the API in general: https://github.com/w3ctag/design-reviews/issues/337
Summary
Extends the Contacts API to allow developers to request contact addresses and icons as well. This can enable use-cases like sharing a recipient’s address with a delivery service, or a communications app where icons would make people more recognizable.

Link to Origin Trial feedback summary
There were a few OT signups, but no actionable feedback was provided.
Is this feature supported on all six Blink platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, Chrome OS, Android, and Android WebView)?
No. The feature and solution are platform agnostic, but we only provide an implementation for Android for now, where the problem is significantly more severe than on other platforms. Other platforms can provide an implementation too, where available.

Risks
Interoperability and Compatibility
Edge: Positive
Firefox: deferred. Concerns seem to be that the explainer didn’t mention historical past attempts, although that has been fixed, and that the TAG review brought up potential abuse cases, although those have been mitigated as well.
Safari: No Signals
Web / Framework developers: Positive about the Contacts API in general, although not a lot of feedback has been gathered on this API extension.
Ergonomics
No adverse effects on Chrome performance are expected.
Activation
The API can be used immediately when shipped. More information here: https://web.dev/contact-picker/
Is this feature fully tested by web-platform-tests? Link to test suite results from wpt.fyi.
Yes, link here.
